The match will be played at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen, Scotland, the long-time home of Aberdeen FC located near the North Sea coastline in the city’s northern part. Pittodrie typically hosts over 20,000 fans for major cup ties, offering a tight, atmospheric venue that often boosts Aberdeen’s performance levels in knockout matches.

Given Aberdeen’s home record at Pittodrie and their generally stronger squad, the most likely outcome is an Aberdeen win, with fair odds in the 1.70–1.80 range for a home victory and 1.30–1.40 in the qualification market. Raith Rovers’ value lies in double-chance markets and Asian handicaps, where lines around Raith +1.0 or +1.25 may appeal if their recent solid defensive form in the Championship and cups continues.

Historically Aberdeen FC have had the upper hand over Raith Rovers in cup and league meetings, winning the majority of encounters at Pittodrie and often limiting Raith to low scoring opportunities. Recent head-to-head games have typically been tight but still lean Aberdeen’s way, underscoring why bookmakers and analysts rate Aberdeen as favorites going into this Scottish Cup Fourth Round clash.
